Everyone who isn't in my team

Especially the one week wonder trade ins (Hammer, JKing, Isaako, Nicholls)

..... Ilias

Speaking of Nicholls, on that bench he looks a solid pick up.

Lemuelu - 50 minutes at EDG with K Brom playing 37 at MID last week
Donoghoe - 8 minutes last week
Teague - on debut

Expecting MID minutes to be something like:
J Brom 45
K Brom 35
Wallace 45
Gilbert 50
Donoghoe 10
Teague 10

Would leave Nicholls with a solid 45 minutes (played 49 last week), which should see him get 40+.

Well fuck, I started with Revraiser this year in Fantasy Fantasy, he’s gonna get suspended for fighting on the forum. Like owning TPJ

OK who's alt is this

I am assuming gender bender is a sanctioned alt? - in any case, Feck this Mando guy - he is new and unfamiliar?

That seems fair enough
Other than NAS and possibly Mahoney this looks like most teams posted here so probably either way you should be fine
Monthly prize perhaps?
I wonder what next weeks trades will look like, with Cleary gone it seems noone is safe in your team

Way off monthly prize.

$307k bank, lots up in the air, team lists will guide trades, as I have Trindall.

Unless he surprises this week, Katoa likely goes.

I'm conflicted - if Cheese doesn't score well today he becomes a relatively guilt-free trade to Walsh next week, but I want a good score from him this week.

A 50 today while EButcher and Collins go 60+ would be enough to justify it for me.

Did u really start with me ? I had a quick look and thought I was nada.

I usually only post shite for the Shite brotherhood amongst us.

I'd only get suspended if I called someone a wanker.

Am I a trade out for u ?

Two decisions to lock in for me today

1. Trade in Ford or BMM. Started the week on Ford, changed to BMM the other day. Having second thoughts...

2. Play Sloan or Warbrick. But I think this has to be the fullback.

Has anyone heard this and have a source? Currently have him and was looking like a sell at 56 minutes this week.

Unsure if this is what you are looking for but hope this helps?

https://www.footystatistics.com/ says he averaged 62 minutes last year as a starting prop too (2022 recent stats)

The 24-year-old, who missed three consecutive seasons between 2016-18 due to multiple ACL tears, says the highs of 2022 were great but he wants to be playing at every opportunity in 2023.
"I really enjoyed it -- I played more footy than ever," he told reporters on Thursday.
"The goal now is to play even more footy again. I missed a few games through injury so really looking looking forward to this year.

Just made an iced one to, for the Mrs. I've said Mrs alot this week.

I haven't seen the game yet, but are people actually considering trading Walsh in, or all just a bit of fun?

Needed a try, TA, TS, 3x LBA, OFH, and 3x TB just to get 54. 34 points in attacking stats. I'd expect a 70-80 type score minimum with those numbers.

Obviously he'll have games with bulk attacking stats, but not sure there's much to suggest he won't also have plenty of 20s & 30s to balance that out when the attacking stats don't come.

In other words not sure we really learned anything new about Walsh, we all knew he's capable of big attacking games.

I hope all your players do really well today Pookus xo

Have u already made another trade ?

Id go Ford still. And play Warbrick.

Without the bunker taking points off him, he hits 70+ in that game. You'll see when you watch the game, was in everything.

If ARey ever goes down, add kicking meters and goal kicking.

Fair enough, will catch up at some point today and give him the eye test.

Most fullbacks rely on attacking stats though.

I don't think he's an automatic no brainer pick or anything, like perhaps was being made out last night, but definitely a great WFB option and I think people's WFB's are looking a bit shite.

Priced around 40, I think he's very safe to meet that with high 40s average by the end of the year a very real possibility.

Not getting feisty, but I won't accept it when someone try's to put u in the naughty corner. Just because someone doesn't like the way the game is headed [which is a thing whether u like it or not] doesn't mean they are an aging uneducated beer swilling ignorant fucker.

If we want to avoid all the carnage that will happen when behemoths chase a ball for 2 hours we need to change the fabric of the game, or.... enjoy the slow pick at the carcass as it is.

Not sure why I've been dragged into this......is it because I called out your humble brag earlier?

Thanks, not quite what I was looking for, but did get me looking at his negatives. The game this week had -14 (6 missed tackles and an error), has never had more than -8 in any other game, and averaged -3.5 in negatives last season.

I guess if I look at it as a 51 with normal negatives and probably his lowest minutes of the season, he becomes a hold, especially if the build up to 80 minutes is a possibility.

Word around the shire was that you were training the house down in preseason. Yourself, Aardvark and Rhinoceroo all bagged me the maximum 20 points. Maybe Fantasy Fantasy is actually my calling, lord knows it isn’t normal NRLFantasy.
